UGC 2885 is a spiral galaxy with a relatively low surface brightness. The stars in its disc are gravitationally disrupted by other galaxies. The central giant nucleus is the most prominent feature of this galaxy. It is so faint that its arms can only be seen by long exposure in infrared wavelengths.

The interaction of UGC 2885 to its companion may have caused the dispersion of stars from its disc. However, UGC 2885 is still almost separated from its companion galaxy. In about a few million years they will interact each other similar to the Mice Galaxies and form a single giant elliptical galaxy.
